Traditional Baking from the Tyrol
Brandenberger Prügeltorte
The ORIGINAL TYROLERAN PRÜGELTORTE derives from the Brandenberg in Tyrol. For generations, the people of Brandenberg have been making this cake for every festivity; family parties, weddings, christenings, traditional holidays: this very special cake is cooked over an open fire.
Made from eggs, butter, sugar and flour and worked to an „Eischwerteig“; a local name meaning the same measurement for each ingredient based on the weight of the eggs.
The Prügel pastry is put into a cone of parchment paper and slowly dripped in layers over a specialist iron spit operated by a cranking mechanism. The spit continues without a break working each layer of pastry until it forms a fixed consistency baked golden brown by the open fire.
During the two hours baking time, a steady and constant control of the mechanism is needed to create the perfect form with its golden brown colour and characteristic peaks.
